About Me

One night I had a dream.
I dreamt that I was a magnificent Rainbow Dragon.
Many people were afraid of me and they ran away and hid whenever I came near.
This saddened me greatly, but I could not force the people to give up their fear. Whenever I approached them, they assumed that I meant to devour them, and they grew even more afraid.
One day, a woman gathered up enough courage to come and stand before me and look into my eyes. When she did this, she saw that my eyes held no malice - only her own reflection. She saw that she too possessed the strength, the power, and the beauty of the Dragon.
The woman no longer feared the Dragon. She went on to live her life as a testament to her own truth and light, no longer a slave to fear, and she became the Rainbow Dragon for many others who came after her.

Asana 1- Mountain Pose with Salutation Seal

(Tadasana with Anjali Mudra)

A traditional beginning pose, common to many Sun Salutation sequences.

The Anjali Mudra is a centring and honouring seal. The hands are pressed together before the heart, symbolizing unity and wholeness. A joining of my active, energetic need to pound out 2000 words in a day to my creative muse, receptive to the influx and shaping of new ideas.

Anjali mudra is a recognition of the divine spark of creativity in each one of us. It is about remembering to be peaceful in the midst of stress and centred in the midst of chaos, remembering that we are all wonderful wellsprings of creativity with fabulous stories to tell, and remembering that we are all in this together.

When I perform Anjali Mudra I am saluting myself, the new day, and Wrimos everywhere who are partaking of this journey with me.

I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells.I honour the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace.I honour the place in me in which the entire universe dwells.I honour the place in me which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace.When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, we are one.

Whoever and wherever you are attempting NaNoWriMo this year, I salute you!
